Every year GCSE students claim their exams are getting harder and harder - often leading parents to grumble about how things were "back in my day". But it turns out the teenagers might be on to something, based on new research from Save My Exams, who recently challenged parents to complete a GCSE maths question.
Shockingly, 100% of them failed. Of course, it is unreasonable to expect students to pass every question in their exam papers. But the challenge goes to show just how difficult the tests can be - and how much kudos kids deserve. It also revealed that parents might have some revision of their own to do.
